The People's Bookshop

The People’s Bookshop is an independent, radical bookshop in the heart of Durham City. Dealing mainly in second-hand and hard-to-find books, we aim to fill the gaps left behind by the headlong push towards the bestsellers, E-books, and add-on sales. We believe that bookshops should reflect their communities and radical bookshops are an important part of the creation of a better world. The short climb up our very ‘historic’ staircase is rewarded not only be a wonderful view of the castle, but by our fantastic selection of second-hand, rare and new books.
